This is how Lagos Governorship candidates performed during Platform Debate

On Sunday, January 13, 2019, The Platform—an initiative of the Covenant Christian Center—showcased the Lagos governorship debate which starred Jimi Agbaje of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP), Owolabi Salis of the Alliance for Democracy (AD), Babajide Sanwo-Olu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Babatunde Gbadamosi of the Action Democratic Party (ADP).

Pulse takes a look at the performances of the candidates on debate night and ranks them on a scale of 0-10.

He never missed an opportunity to fire snide remarks at the man who “sits down on the commonwealth of Lagosians and who enslaves people with that commonwealth”.

Our sympathies to whoever that is.

You could also tell that Salis couldn’t stand Sanwo-Olu, candidate of the APC.

Time and again, the audience showed its displeasure as Salis went on and on, touting his own CV and his job. 

Salis promised to get millions out of poverty, fix the perennial traffic problem in Lagos and provide better education for Lagosians, without saying exactly how. 

He was the definition of “all over the place”.

He was at his best when talking about the problems of Lagos, though, and had the tendency to ramble and ramble without end.
